The Bandit is Werner's aggressive spooned canoe paddle for technical river runners and slalom canoeists. The spooned power face and sharp symmetrical blade have a powerful catch and immediate responsiveness. Carbon fiber shaft with oval index adds comfort and control.

I have used this paddle on the Devils River, TX twice. I am not an expertpaddler, but it's an indestructible paddle and made me a better paddler.Sent from my iPhone

I wouldn't recommend a spooned blade as a guide stick.

I've been using it for a couple of years to paddle a C-1. It seems to be at least as durable as any paddle I've had before. I retired my old Perception Harmony paddles because they were heavy. My last one, a Bending Branches Explorer, was light and wonderful until it broke as I was stroking upstream to a wave. This one is stronger and just as light. The major drawback that I could for using it as a guide stick is that it's very dark grey. If you drop it, you may not find it. Paint some bright stripes on it.

This is a good, light whitewater paddle. The handle and the shaft both have a good feel (but the handle could be larger--I have big hands.) I've had it almost three months and it seems to stand up to rocks. I would like it even more if it were available without the spoon.
